1-26 Stinger® Administration Guide
Administering a Stinger System
Basic system settings
The system name is specified in the system profile. For example, to set the Stinger
unit’s system name to Stinger01 , proceed as follows:
admin> read system
SYSTEM read
admin> set name = Stinger01
admin> write
SYSTEM written
Setting the system time and date
The Stinger unit maintains the time and date. For proper operation, set the time and
date at initial configuration using the
timedate profile.
Viewing the system time and date
To view the current time and date, enter the date command with no argument. For
example:
admin> date
Tue Nov 6 14:52:25 2001
You can also access the timedate profile to view the information:
admin> get timedate
[in TIMEDATE]
time = { 14 53 10 }
date = { Tuesday November 2001 6 }
Changing the system time
If the time is incorrect, you can change it by entering the current time in the
timedate
profile. The following example shows how to change the system time to
12:30:08 a.m.:
admin> read timedate
TIMEDATE read
admin> set time = { 12 30 08 }
admin> write
TIMEDATE written
Changing the system date
If the date is incorrect, you can change it by entering the current time in the timedate
profile. Because the date subprofile includes a read-only field (day of week), you
must set the date parameters independently. The following example shows how to
change the system date to January 6, 2002.
admin> read timedate
TIMEDATE read
admin> set date month = 01
admin> set date day = 06
admin> set date year = 2002
admin> write
TIMEDATE written
